My bf tried the food and said it was great. But as a barista i'm shocked at how good their drip is. I usually avoid grabbing coffee from places like this, but i'm honestly really impressed. their roaster does an amazing job

Worth every penny. I picked up a southern pasty and I’m going to need a nap. There is so much flavor in the crust and the filling. A wonderful token of childhood joy for breakfast before I run errands. The shop is nice, staff are lovely, and there’s always parking somewhere within a black. Go visit!

Oh wow this place is delicious. I've been wanting to try them for years and I don't know why I waited so long! I lived in England for a short period of time and Patsy's were my favorite in the go snack/meal. The Stout & Shepard are both amazing. The Stout is Steak and Gorgonzola in a flaky pastry. The Shepard is basically a handheld Shepherd's pie! I'll be back soon to try the rest of them as well as their breakfast options!
